Wallpaper - End Of Day

Designed by Chris Paschke, our End Of Day wallpaper captures an evocative, atmospheric horizon through sweeping washes of ink and watercolor. Soft gradients of steel blue, slate grey, and muted taupe blend seamlessly across broad horizontal planes, evoking the tranquil quiet of dusk falling over water and distant hills. The layered washes create a fluid, expressive visual texture that balances delicate coastal abstraction with grounded, earthy depth. Produced as a made-to-measure mural, this PVC-free wallpaper brings an expansive, contemplative focal point to residential interiors while being straightforward to hang on your wall.

In the room

Because of its strong horizontal composition and panoramic depth, we see this design working particularly well on a wider, uninterrupted accent wall in a living room or a dedicated meditation space. The layered blue and grey bands draw the eye outward, lending an expansive, open feel across the breadth of a room. In a living room, placing this wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa or media console allows the full gradient of the horizon to remain visible without being broken up by tall storage pieces. The subtle tonal shifts between deep steel blue and lighter mist tones also respond beautifully to shifting daylight, revealing gentle watercolor bleeds during the day and settling into a deeper, moodier backdrop under warm ambient evening lamps.

Styling it

To complement the organic, fluid character of this design, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined contemporary or organic modern furnishings. Keeping larger furniture relatively quiet allows the painterly horizon to carry the main visual weight in the room.

• Choose low-slung seating in tactile, neutral upholstery such as textured cream linen or warm grey wool to balance the cool blue tones of the artwork.
• Incorporate warm, lighter wood elements like white oak or ash in coffee tables or open shelving to introduce natural warmth against the cool slate and steel palette.
• Introduce soft, diffuse lighting through floor lamps with paper or fabric shades to maintain the tranquil, atmospheric mood without creating harsh glare against the wall.

Colour combinations

The design itself centers around a palette of deep steel blue, slate, soft washed grey, and subtle off-white tones. When planning the rest of the room, we recommend echoing these cool neutrals or introducing gentle warmth to create a balanced environment.

Adjacent painted walls look natural finished in chalky off-whites, pale limestone greiges, or light pebble grey, keeping the overall envelope bright and airy. For larger elements such as rugs, curtains, or accent chairs, deeper slate grey or dark navy will reinforce the rich pigment at the core of the horizon, while natural sand and oat tones in textiles provide a soft, grounding counterpoint.
